Finnish FSA to host AIFMD information events

By: Jonathan Boyd | 13 Sep 2012

Finland’s Financial Supervisory Authority (Finanssivalvonta) is organising a series of events to detail the impact on relevant market participants of the introduction of the AIFM Diretive, scheduled to enter into force at the national level by July 2013.

The first event will take place in Helsinki on 27 September, during which the Authority will both present details of the Directive and take questions on how organisations applying for authorisation or registration should prepare for the new regulatory framework.

Invitations to the events will target currently supervised entities engaged in fund activities “as well as those new market participants that give us their contact information and to whose activities the Directive applies,” the Authority said.

Those who have not yet received an invitation are encouraged to contact tiina.mesry@fiva.fi no later than 18 September.
